Previously, we reported on reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo’s claim that Apple will release a foldable iPad with a carbon fibre kickstand in 2024. However, Kuo may have missed the mark on this prediction as other tech insiders have since denied hearing anything on the matter.

Apple has long been rumoured to produce a foldable iPad, with many sources predicting it to be released in 2024. The latest of which is from reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo who agreed with the release time-frame and even went a step further by claiming that the foldable iPad will come with a carbon fibre kickstand.

Apple is reportedly planning to directly take on Google and Amazon in the smart home market by releasing a slew of devices in the near future. These include a smart display device to compete with the Google Nest and Amazon’s Echo Show.

Apple may move away from mini-LED displays for its future iPads and MacBooks lineups and opt for OLED displays instead. This is according to industry sources which claim that demand for mini-LED suppliers is shrinking due to Apple’s alleged move.   

Previously, we reported on Apple confirming that it will comply with the European Union’s (EU) new law for a unified USB-C charging port. Now, it looks like the EU is not done just yet and may force Apple to do more changes on its mobile devices, including allowing for third-party app stores, app sideloading and iMessage interoperability with non-Apple devices.

With the release of the 10th generation iPad and the M2-powered iPad Pro last week, the Apple iPad lineup is now more extensive yet confusing than ever. Well, if a new report is to be believed, the lineup will be getting even more extensive, as Apple may release a massive 16-inch iPad next year.

While other manufacturers already launched several generations of foldable smartphones in the market, it looks like Apple will not follow suit but instead release a foldable tablet first. In fact, according to analyst firm CCS Insight, Apple may be launching a foldable iPad in 2024.

Previously, we reported that Apple is delaying the release of iPadOS 16 to iron out several new iPad features, including ‘Stage Manager’. The new OS didn’t roll out together with iOS 16 last month and iPad users can anticipate getting an update straight to iPadOS 16.1 by the end of October.

Apple is reportedly planning to adopt USB Type-C more widely within its portfolio, including on the AirPods lineup as well as Mac accessories. This is according to reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman.

iPadOS 16 was unveiled by Apple during WWDC 2022 but the update itself is not coming to iPads until next month. One of the most stand-out features has got to be Stage Manager and it looks like Apple is making a ‘u-turn’ from its previous decision on the feature and will be bringing it into non-M1-powered iPads.
